Personal health records (PHR) is a technology for managing the information playing field in healthcare. With multiple vendors competing on this relatively new market, an evaluation framework for end-user feature comparison can provide a foundation for system adoption decisions. Also it can serve as a starting point for requirements analysis for new systems. In this work we elicit a list of 25 end-user...
Comparative effectiveness research is necessary for improving clinical outcomes and reducing costs for major public health problems including chronic disease conditions. However, current methods for conducting comparative effectiveness research are faced with limitations including insufficient data, data aggregation issues, and high costs among others. In this paper, we propose a cyberinfrastructure-based...
Medical billing is a complex, dynamic, knowledge oriented process.

Although data mining and knowledge discovery techniques have been used to clinical medicine frequently, little research has been conducted on hospital decision-making. Decision-making is a crucial part of hospital management, and it goes the whole process of medical behavior. Medical data in hospital information system is always complicated and especial, and this consequently aggravates burden on...
The study presented in this paper analyzes the workflow and implementation of electronic health record (EHR) systems in small physician primary care offices. We characterize these offices in terms of workflow, sources of time delay, and barriers to the support of the entire workflow through the use of EHR systems through an primary care exemplar office. The variety and complexity of interactions,...
Supervision and audit of medical insurance expenditure is very important to medical insurance expenditure control. In this paper, characteristics of medical service market and strategy of control medical expenditure has been discussed. The paper puts forward a new design method of medical insurance supervision system which is base on active data warehouse and SOA. The system improves real-time performance...
The variety and heterogeneity of legacy systems at the application level have contributed to the complexity of interoperability provision among different application domains. In this context, most research activities are focused towards standardization and interoperability among the legacy systems within the same domain. However, an emerging challenge is to address the communication of information...
This paper aims to examine reduction of medical expenditures by utilizing the system of Nishi-aizu Town, Fuikushima Prefecture. The town office has been implementing it since 1994 and keeps receipts on medical expenditures of its approximately 4,000 residents paid by National Health Insurance for 5 years from 2002 to 2006.
